Album Info
Queen continued to grow upon their success from 1980, which
saw them reach the top of the charts in both the UK and US with their album
The Game. Additionally, the band scored their only two Billboard #1 hits
that year with Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites The
Dust. Queen toured the world extensively in support of The Game throughout
all of 1980, moving on to Japan, South America, and Mexico throughout 1981.
The band released Greatest Hits on November 2, 1981 in the UK, an album
which would eventually become the biggest seller of all time in that country.
To capitalize on their success, Queen performed two concerts on November
24 and 25, 1981 at the Forum in Montreal especially for a planned theatrical
run. MobileVision had planned to show the footage on traveling outdoor screens.
The release was beset with problems and the film did not open theatrically
until September 1984, touring at select cinemas in the UK. A home video
release followed with several reissues to come.
Years later, Queen Productions purchased the rights to the film and audio
to release officially under the Queen banner. Rock Montreal was released
on October 29, 2007 on triple LP vinyl, CD, and DVD. A special deluxe DVD
edition called Rock Montreal & Live Aid was also released, including
footage of the band's now legendary Live Aid performance. HD-DVD and Blu-ray
releases would follow in November. High definition video formats benefited
greatly from the 35mm source material.
The Montreal shows were compiled together to represent the best of the two
nights. The original 35mm tapes were lost, leaving only the final 35mm print,
so video editing was not possible. Two tracks did not survive the final
film cut, Flash and The Hero, which were included on audio formats. Also
of note, Under Pressure was first performed at these two concerts. Rock
Montreal charted at #20 on the UK Charts.

Get Down, Make Love from Montreal was included as a bonus track on the News

is longer than the album version; it incorporates some faded-in crowd noise
from I'm In Love With My Car. The end fades out with crowd noise right after
Freddie yells "get down everybody"! The dialogue from Freddie
before Save Me has been edited out.
